Playtech has introduced an entire new suite of online arcade based skill games with fixed odds. These instant access flash games include interpretations of all the old classics like Rock Paper Scissors, Heads-or-Tails as well as a new mix like Derby Day, a virtual horse racing game.

Around the World – This game uses a wheel with 49 numbered stops and 3 special stops. It is broken down in four stages with seven levels in each stage. At the beginning of each stage a random number is drawn at the player wages whether the next number will be higher or lower than the drawn number. The further the player gets and the fewer the incorrect guesses the more the player wins. As in slots once a wager is made it is never returned. If the player guesses high or low correctly, he advances to the next level, if he guesses incorrectly he also advances to next level but receives a strike. Two strikes at any stage of the game, and it immediately ends and the player loses. The house edge is 3.05% if played to the end.

Bonus Bowling – In this game the player bets on the outcome of a bowler, one frame at a time. There are 5 betting choices: Strike, Spare or a total frame score of 0-3, 4-6, 7-9.
